Description
After my studies at ETH and a PhD in semiconductor spintronics at IBM Research I decided to do something that had a more immediate impact on people's lives. I first worked for Sensirion and then moved to Davos to work in snow and avalanche research. I learned about the problems and challenges in this field and founded the company Geopraevent in 2012. Geopraevent offers services improving the safety in alpine regions. We design, develop and operate electronic warning and alarm systems for natural hazards like snow avalanches, rock fall or debris flows. Currently, we operate more than 70 systems worldwide.
